“I started studying acting, got commercials, and here we are 100 years later. I'm acting and writing and I have a pool and a dog.”
“I'm not always the first person to run out and see something I'm in. I don't know; for me, that's not why I did it. I did it because I wanted to act. I don't really think about the end result. I don't feel like I have to see it - for me, it already happened.”
“We all know what it feels like to be an outcast or a loner or to fall between the cracks. To be the target of gossip or people talking about you, or girls are ganging up on you. One minute, they're your best friend; the next, they call you on three-way.”
“My Instagram is basically all knitting, my dog, and a little bit of 'The Defenders.'”
“I have a lot of girlfriends. That's sort of my whole thing is, I have really, really deep friendships, more so than anybody I've ever met.”
“Marvel has, like, 9,000 characters. They could do a horror movie tomorrow and call it Marvel. They can do anything.”
“I'm a total girl's girl.”
“Besides boutiques, I love H&M. Affordable and adorable.”
“I like to be stylish and edgy, but also low maintenance.”

“I didn't know how to throw a punch - why would I? Who knows how to throw a punch? Now I do it all the time, and it makes me feel strong.”
“Jessica Jones is such a great part, and I do serious work on it. I feel really creatively fulfilled.”
“The more messy women that we put on screen, that we put in books, the more women can feel represented and seen, then they can access their own stuff, feel it's okay, and then have the strength to speak out about things like we're talking about. About rising up.”
“I believe in women having a voice, being empowered, speaking up, and having ideas.”
“When I moved back to New York, I saw a lot of girls knitting on the subway, and it had a bit of a comeback.”
“I think it's important to be flexible and free, and you can't be free and spontaneous if you don't know what you're doing.”
“When I go home to Pennsylvania, my cousins who live in small towns and are twenty-three with kids are like 'Krysten, when are you getting married?' 'When are you having a kid?' Honestly, those aren't the most important things to me right now.”
“I'm not a wallflower, and I encourage girls to live that way.”
“I'm not conventional. I try to be raw and vulnerable and gross.”
“If they want to do a 'Defenders 2,' I'm in.”
